«The United Nations ditches Big Tech in a bid for security» --8<---------------cut here---------------start------------->8--- Following a competitive selection process, the United Nations International Computing Centre (UNICC) has chosen UK-based encrypted messaging platform [Element] to secure all communications—from written emails and chats to audio, voice calls, and even video conferencing. UNICC has been responsible for providing information and communication technology systems for all the United Nations organizations and programs for over 50 years. The switch to Element indicates that better privacy, security, and flexibility are increasingly important for organizations handling sensitive data. [Element] <https://www.techradar.com/reviews/element-secure-messenger-review> Complete control of data ╌╌╌╌╌╌╌╌╌╌╌╌╌╌╌╌╌╌╌╌╌╌╌╌╌╌╌╌╌╌ The [Element Server Suite] reportedly stood out above other apps as a secure end-to-end encrypted and digitally sovereign platform—two elements that IT leaders [increasingly describe] as top priorities. [...] Hodgson explained that instead of blindly trusting a tech company to handle all its data correctly, UNICC has now a platform it can self-host, manage, and configure for its requirements within a few clicks. [...] From today, April 22, 2024, these organizations have replaced all their email and chat systems with the Element app. Alongside written communications, all VoIP (Voice over Internet Protocol) and video conferencing are now passing through the Element infrastructure. Completely self-hosted by UNICC through an Element Enterprise subscription, the Element suite will also support a bunch of features ideal for corporate use, such as advanced identity and access control (including support for Single Sign On), auditing, and reporting. [...] [Element Server Suite] <https://element.io/server-suite> [increasingly describe] <https://try.element.io/forrester-report-the-future-of-secure-communications> --8<---------------cut here---------------end--------------->8--- Quindi ricapitolando: 1. UNICC ha scelto di usare una versione "Enterprise" proprietaria [1] del server Matrix [2] libero Synapse (AGPL v3), perché così possono installarlo *con quattro click*... oh sì, c'è anche il Single Sign On, wow! 2. hanno scelto di usarlo anche per l'email: _qualsiasi_ client Matrix *totalmente* inadatto a sostituire l'email [3] 3. useranno Element App, che gira dentro i browser, che sono le /robe/ più insicure sulla faccia della terra (ma su questo punto ci sarebbe moltissimo da puntializzare, perché anche i dispositivi client sono "un cinema") Saluti, 380° [1] https://element.io/blog/element-to-adopt-agplv3/ [2] https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Matrix_(protocol) [3] che a detta di molti avrebbe già dovuto sparire 15 anni fa, la terz'ultima volta che l'ho sentito -- 380° (Giovanni Biscuolo public alter ego) «Noi, incompetenti come siamo, non abbiamo alcun titolo per suggerire alcunché» Disinformation flourishes because many people care deeply about injustice but very few check the facts.
